Just for you we're putting an American Apparel ad on that brick wall, sad window doesn't seem so bad now, eh?

Huh?

The only purpose of advertising is to sell and promote. We as donkeys choose to buy or not.

This complaint is just like saying it's too sunny out.

Let's see... the complaint essentially has to do with gentrification. I left the confines of Alameda a few years back (already gentrified) for the rural spaces of the West Hills. Basically, I don't have a dog in this fight. But it does seem to me that while the good neighbors of inner NoPo and NE Portland have fought the good fight and now see (as my failing memory can best recall) Trader Joe's, WalMart, The Home Depot, and others sent packing, because they all are geared to accepting middle class dough, rather than whatever the agitators would rather see in place. It does occur that Trader Joe's and Target stores typically hire more neighborhood denizen's than your typical hair salon, but then I'm no expert like these guys.

I don't know what you're talking about with your trick photography and filters BS. Those are the actual angles of the walls of my repurposed sustainably harvested energy efficient vintage shingle recycled post industrial waste eco-cottage that I cobbled together myself from old dumpsters, shipping pallets, refrigerator boxes, empty beer growlers, chili cans, semi truck tires, and goat wool. I induced local mosses to grow on my spent beer wort roof lining to help capture rain water runoff. The whole thing is thatched with Forest Park leaf litter, super fund clean up clay from Kelly Point Park (pcb's and heavy metals help to polymerize the alluvial silt), and chicken feathers from my own chickens. I've dug an earthen fermentation pit in the back yard and I'm working on converting my bio-waste to diesel to power a generator for my Macbook. Right now I use a flywheel hooked to my recumbent bamboo bike to juice up some batteries. My carbon footprint is actually negative.

Wowowow, seriously that second paragraph was fucking gold. Actually, the whole thing was.
